' v, WRAPPING m me;

To aZZw-homt may c0ncem.' l l I Be it known that I, KAN MIYASAKI, a c tiof' Japan, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State'of California,-have invented "new and useful Improvements in Wrapping Devices, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to coin wrapping devices, and is particularly adapted to aid the operator in the assembly of a definlte number of coins of the same denomination into a column, and to expeditiously wrap said column in paper, to bind them together into a neat and compact package.

Other objects of my invention will appear in the following description, will be pointed out in the claims, and embodied in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a plan view of my invention, showing a quantity of coins assembled thereon, to be measured in a column containing a uniform number of coins of a predetermined value.

Fig. 2 is a transverse section taken on the line 2--2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a new similar to Fig. 2 showing the column of coins assembled on a sheet of aper in position to be wrapped.

11 carrying out my invention I employ a rectangular frame 5, formed of wood or other suitable material, which comprises the side members 6 and 7 and the end members 8 and 9 and for sake of rigidity the bottom 10. The end members 8 and9 are provided with the annular perforations 11 and 12, in which are supported the rods 13 and 1 1 on which are journaled for rotation the rollers 15 and 16, the ends of which project into sockets 17 and 18 formed respectively into the inner walls of ends 8 and 9.

The rollers 15 and 16 are arranged in parallel relation and their peripheral sur faces abut together at a point midway between the sides 6 and 7 and their oppositely opposed surfaces rest respectively adjacent the inner walls of sides 6 and 7 The sides 6 and 7 are beveled from their top surfaces inwardly and downwardly as at 20 and 21, thus forming crotches 22 and 23 between said surfaces, and the surfaces of rollers 15 and 16, which are adapted to receive the coins when being assembled into a column, and in order that an exact number of coins may be measured off in these crotches, I provide the index marks 25 and 26 which are p Specification of Letters l fiatent.

' formedon the upper and beveled surfaces of sides 6 and-7, as clearly shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings. I H

The index marks 25 are isp'aceda desired distance from the inner surface 27 of end 9,

. andthe index marks 26 arespaced'a desired distance from the inner surface 28 of end 8 and are designed to represent a certain: quantity of coins of one denomination, as for instance, provision is made for assembling ten dollars in fifty cent pieces, five dollars in ten cent pieces, ten dollars in twenty-five cent pieces, fifty cents in one cent pieces and two dollars in five cent pieces.

In the using of my device, if it is desired to assemble and wrap up fifty cents in one cent pieces, the operator packs these pieces in close relation between either of the surfaces 27 or 28, and the index marks .desig nated 50 in 1. The distance between these points equals exactly the space into which fifty one cent pieces can be packed, and consequently the exact desired value in coins is counted out.

After the desired quantity of coins hav been assembled, the operator places a piece of paper of proper dimensions over the rollers 15 and 16, then grasps the column of coins between his thumb and index finger and lays said column on the paper just over the crotch formed between said rolls, which sinks down and causes the paper to sink therewith, into the crevice between said rollers. He then draws one end of the paper around the column, as clearly shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings, and places his fingers on top of the paper and column, and rolls the column in the direction indicated by the arrow. It will be seen by this mode of operation, that the rollers 15 and 16 will revolve in unison with the column of coins, and serve to guide the paper and hold it in tight relation to the column of coins while it is being wrapped thereon, as well as serve as an antifriction means, thereby forming a neat and compact wrapping with a minibe used for the wrapping of any article of that coins may be counted and wrapped with great facility, and that the time necessary for performing these operations is reduced to a minimum, as compared with the common method of doing the wrapping on a table, and that by employin the rollers the paper is wrapped evenly an tightly around the column.

What I claim is: V

1. A device of the class described, comprising a frame, a pair of rollers mounted in parallel relation and adjacent each other in A said frame said frame being provided on two of its upper and oppositely disposed edges with inclined surfaces adapted to form with the peripheral surfaces of said roller a crotch for the reception of a plurality of coins, and index marks arranged on said frame adjacent said inclined surfaces, whereby the number of coins assembled in said crotch'may be determined.

2. A device of the class described, comprising a frame, a roller journaled in said frame, and a side member arranged adjacent and parallel with said roller, provided with an inclined edge adapted to form a crotch therebetween for the reception of coins.

In witness that I claim the foregoing 1 have hereunto subscribed my name this 22nd day of October, 1919.
